    Try this it's free and easy to use and may fix your problem, can't hurt. From the cmd promt/admin. sfc /scannow 3 times boot after each. It's Windows 7 way of checking it's own System Files and repairing if possible.
    Couldn't hurt, I'll give that a try tomorrow and post results.

    Appreciate all suggestions,
    Hello, new day, success...............

    I did the SFC /SCANNOW elevated cmd 3 times with no problems being detected.

    I tried again to install Cliplets using elevated cmd ending with same failure.

    I ran M/S FixIt 50809.msi, which reported successful fix. Not really sure what that fixed, but I think it just restarted Windows Installer (or)?

    Next, troubled by repeated message re: where I was installing Cliplets (Program Files/Microsoft/etc) I created a Cliplets directory under Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/ and it successfully loaded and ran.

    Once again I thank you all for the support, you're a great group.
